Mavs-on-Track is a support program designed to help first-time in college (FTIC) students who are not in good academic standing after their first semester at UTA. The program provides essential resources, guidance and skill-building opportunities to help students improve their academic standing and get back on track for long-term academic success. As part of the program, students will reflect on and discuss the challenges that contributed to their academic difficulties.
Through guided activities, students will:
- Take Targeted Action: Identify and implement specific strategies to enhance academic performance, including effective study habits, time management techniques, and utilization of campus resources such as tutoring centers, libraries, and workshops.
- Set Clear Goals: Establish both short-term academic goals and long-term career objectives to stay motivated and focused.
- Create a Personalized Success Plan: Develop an academic plan tailored to individual strengths, challenges, and aspirations, outlining courses, support systems, and key milestones.
- Seek Ongoing Support: Maintain regular communication with academic advisors and connect with campus support services to receive continuous guidance, encouragement, and accountability.
